Dear Riot, what are your plans on Mordekaiser?

As he seems to be set for a possible update, I'm curious as to where you'll be taking him? Hopefully with a visual update and a kit that fits his "I'm coming to kill you while ignoring the ADC's damage" motif.

Right now from how I see he's in a very odd spot, where he has all this power yet no way to unleash it unless the opponent was silly enough to think fighting a Mordekaiser during laning phase would be a good idea before getting a face full of Nightfall. Lack of mobility with only his W offering a movement speed boost when moving towards the targeted ally champion or minion is also a huge issue. CC is no exception either, the fact I have to rush a item 3116 to even catch up to someone who would just brush the passive of is nothing short of annoying. And no, protobelt will not solve all issues. His reliance on items to be remotely useful is really not a healthy playstyle.

I might get flack for this, but I personally think that out of all the juggernauts, Mordekaiser kind of got left in the dust compared to the others. Skarner got a map-wide passive, speed boost with a shield, a stun and suppression. Garen is still the same pre-update with his silence and speed boost with a true damage execute ult but a villain mechanic which boosts damage against that villain. Darius has an AoE spin which heals him for eahc champion hit, a W and E which apply a massive slow with the E pulling targets in and a true damage ult which scales off his DoT passive. Mordekaiser? He can steal the enemy ADC as use them as a ghost to 6v4, that's cool. But Yorick can achieve the same with his ult with just the click of a button on our own ADC who most likely will be fed by the time Yorick completes stacking his item 3042. Modekaiser can take dragon? Yeah, that's pretty awesome. But reliance on his ult alone to be a decent champion is honestly not the right way to go about him.

So, any plans on Mordekaiser so far, Riot?

And thus, the downvotes begin without so much a discussion.
